Commanders Keep Jayden Daniels Off IR After Left Elbow Dislocation

Imaging will determine whether he needs surgery, setting the timeline for a potential return.

Overview

  • Daniels dislocated his left elbow in the fourth quarter against the Seahawks and left the field with his arm in a brace.
  • Washington declined to place him on injured reserve after Week 9, preserving the option for an in-season activation.
  • The injury is to his non-throwing arm, which could lessen ramp-up needs if surgery is not required.
  • Reporting cites typical recoveries of about a month without surgery or two to three months with it, with recent parallels from Khalil Mack and Dexter Lawrence.
  • He exited with 7:29 remaining in a 38-14 loss at Seattle, and some outlets project he could miss several weeks pending test results.
